Toyota GT86 - rip off in the UK?

[GroundEffect]

Shock-horror, some countries are cheaper than others.

Try comparing the UK used market against the rest of the world! We've got one of the cheapest.

Just to rub in that I can't quite afford one. A black one just drove past me. Gerr. (Looks nice in the flesh though)

Everything is a rip-off in the UK.

Have you compared the list price of a Corvette here with what you'd pay in the USA?

Have you compared the price of a Lotus or any German car in the UK compared to the US? The US is such a rip-off.

You sure? Porsche USA lists a Boxster S at $60,900 which using the first currency calculator I found is £38,471. Porsche uk lists it as £45,384, bargain!

Except you haven't taken into account the general cost of living and wages.

It's all relative.

I think the consensus is that you can't really compare too closely as every country is different. Not exactly a eureka moment but still intriguing seeing how such an anticipated car compares in different markets.

I can't see there being much demand out here, even at 17k, despite Toyota being the most popular brand of car by some margin.
